My Favorite Ways to Stay Fit This Summer: Preparing your summer bod starts way before the temperatures hit the 100s and continues throughout the summer!
In order to save you some time researching and planning out your workouts for the summer, I’ve put together my top four favorite workouts to keep you fit (while still leaving you time for the kids!):
- Four Minute Tabata Workout
- Oxygen Magazine Booty Building Workout
- Dog Friendly Workout
- Top Ten At-Home Exercise for Total Body Toning
*And if you’re just beginning your transformation journey or want some amazing transformation tools, here is THE all-in-one post (filled with lots of links!) to get you started: How to Begin Your Transformation Journey?Step-by-Step
My Go-To Smoothie and Shake Recipes: On a hot summer day (and really, any day, right?), a smoothie or shake is a perfect meal! Smoothies help pack in those healthy micronutrients without even realizing you’re drinking your veggies.
They’re also a great way to stay cool and save yourself some time with meal prep?exactly what this mama needs with four littles running around all season long. Just add the ingredients to your blender and voila! Total plus: All of the recipes below are Powell Pack approved, kid-friendly treats that our family loves to drink! YUM.
Top Family Activities + Family Workouts: For me, summer is all about savoring that extra time with the kids and trying new things. While swimming and splash pads are a great way to cool down, we can’t ignore the fact that workouts are still a necessity too!
Adding a kid-friendly element to things like a Tabata workout is a great way to stay fit AND enjoy quality time as a family. Fit some “screen free” time into your daily summer schedule and get your whole family moving this summer with some of my favorite kid-friendly activities below.
- Mommy & Me Tabata Workout
- Get Outside and Celebrate Earth Day!

Why do hope to win? Fitness and proper nutrition have saved my life multiple times. In 2012 I went into multi organ failure due to a virus. I was in a coma for 2 weeks. Machines ran all of my vital functions. My heart and lungs functioned by a machine called ECMO for 21 days. I slowly woke up and then a trachestomy and ventilator ran my lungs. My kidneys functioned compliments of dialysis. I had a 1% survival rate. The team of doctors told my husband that my age (42) and my fitness level were my two good factors. 3 months later I beat the odds. My dehabilated body was weaned off of all machinery and I went to acute rehab and relearned to walk. Several weeks after being home I hired a personal trainer and ever so slowly built back up. In 2017 I was diagnosed with leukemia. Fitness will not make this go away. However, every time I go to the oncologist he asks are you still exercising…its important to keep muscle on your body. Fitness has been my saviour. I cannot say I deserve this more than anyone else. However, it would certainly help me with my current battle. ?Christina
To be honest, who doesn?t deserve this opportunity to transform with you and Chris for the rest of their life? I have been using your program since the start of this year, and I feel like I have my life back. I started The Transform App after having my 3rd son to get my body back. I didn?t realize how much this app would change me for the better. I wouldn’t say my story is ?special? or more worthy to win over someone else; I?m a stay at home mom of 3 young boys. I?ve battled postpartum depression and anxiety and this App has helped me through the darkness. my mind is less foggy, I have a healthier relationship with food, enjoy time with my children more, and am genuinely happier. I want that transformation for everyone! Everyone deserves to feel this way.. ??. You have already helped transform my life, I am grateful for this opportunity to enter the giveaway and I would be so blessed to win!
Heidi! I would love to win a lifetime access to the transform app. After years of you and Chris changing my life while watching your incredible hearts and skills transform others on TV I was so thrilled to get the opportunity to finally get to ?work? with you. As a crazy roller coaster of two years I?m finally able to work on me and starting to feel like myself again after baby, surgeries and life. I?m. I longer letting those define me. As I?m changing my mindset too. With your app I know I can be the BEST version of myself yet for both me and my family. I would love to bring my best friend, biggest supporter and someone who deserves it, my sister a long for the ride! God Bless!
I would love to win this subscription! I have yo-yo’d in weight my entire life. After having my husband off work for 3 years, 3 miscarriages, and a fibromyalgia diagnosis I am at my largest weight to date. I cannot afford any type of fitness or nutrition training but would loce the oppertunity to use this app to help me reach my goals.
Im a mother of 4 kids and I already loose 60 pounds, now I need To toned all the skins !!
Hi Heidi!
As a new graduate, full-time, night shift nurse, I have spent the last few grueling years living inside my books and study tools to receive my dual degree in nursing. Now that I am a working nurse, I am learning to balance the gym, nutrition & working night shift (talk about throwing your body off!) all while planning my wedding in 2019! (We just got engaged this past January!) I have been following macros and a workout plan, trying to get to a point of optimal health internally and externally. Receiving access to your app would be a game changer for me! I could learn, achieve and conquer while being able to put funds aside for our wedding and future life together. I spend my time & energy investing into the well-being of others, I would love to be able to do the same for myself long-term. Thank you for your time & for sharing this awesome opportunity with the community!! Much love! Krys
As a mom of 3 toddlers it is tough getting back into my healthy routein. I am getting there, slowly but surely but ohmygoodness this would be such a life saver! Not only cost wise as budgets are tight with a family of 5 but I seriously need someone to tell me, teach me, show me what I need to do to get where I need to be.
Hi Heidi!!! My name is Jean and I would love to win love to win lifetime access to the transform app. My partner in life and my fitness journey has always and will forever be my husband. We are committed to becoming the healthiest version of ourselves for each other and our children. We workout at home daily as it is easiest to fit into our busy schedules with 3 growing munchkins and allows us to show our kids our health is a priority too.
We have both struggled to find consistency in our fitness AND nutrition. Having lifetime access to your practical plans would literally be a lifesaver. I lost my mother at a young age to obesity related health issues. I will NOT do that to my children. I am honored to have this opportunity and as always thank you for being two of the most relatable and inspirational fitness professionals (and parents, spouses, business executives, and the list goes on ?) our there!
I hate to say I ?deserve? anything because really it would be an honor but I?m not sure I deserve much. I?m a mom of four and I?ve been working for the last year and a half to make myself as strong as God needs me to be to accomplish whatever he asks of me. Your Instagram page has been hugely helpful in keeping me in form and preventing injuries, as well as vacuuming my 4 baby abs!! I?d be honored to see your other workouts as I?m afraid the app is cost prohibitive for us at this stage in our parenting life.
I would love to win because you have the best workouts and I would love to tone up with your help!!!
